   Back in 2010 I posted a Space Travel Quiz   
   (in this forum) based on Julian Bagginis   
   thoughts about immortality and futuristic Space Travel   
   (See Bagginis book: "Do You Think What You Think You Think").   
      
   The world has moved quite a bit since then,   
   so an updated version of the quiz is long overdue...   
      
   Interstellar space travel is going to take a special   
   breed of travellers, so, surely, there should still be   
   a test for the right stuff somewhere on the internet!   
      
   The new version is based on JavaScript, whereas   
   the old version was Flash based. So that   
   in itself should be a nice update,   
   that should make the quiz more easily accessible.   
      
   Please don't pay too much attention to the rather silly point system in   
   the quiz. The crux of the whole thing is of course   
   the questions (Where some are,   
   still, directly inspired by the Baggini book).   
      
   Enough said, here is the test:

   ps.   
      While I was at it. I also   
   made a Monty Hall Game and Simulation   
   (famous probability teaser):
